Plot Summary (ANN): Madoka is the lone member of her school's Jersey Club. She is one day recruited by a mysterious girl named Lan to pilot the robot "Vox" and protect her city from space invaders. They are joined by a third girl, Muginami, who has a different goal than Ran. Meanwhile, they still don't know their enemies' true goal, or what "Rinne" might be.

One of the best anime of the season, with a lovable main character and the awesome robot scene, Robot Suplex: Because your Kendo is weak.

I really, really like the main character. She makes you like her and you enjoy liking her because she's optimistic and willing to help. And the theme is really catchy, I find my self listening too it alot.

Well it's also from the producers of Martian Successor Nadeisco and Stand Alone Complex. I love the OP, it has to be the best of the season in my honest opinion. I haven't really got to Nise yet since random issues with the 10-bit encoding.

I'm trying to figure out how to fix the issues over time.

But yeah. Getting to see the official air in good quality made me appreciate it more. I like how they really give you pieces of things to look at as the episodes progress that make you go "Hmmn, I wonder what they mean by that?" Or when Lan clinches her fist and has that rather angry look on her face~

I like the show, but I don't share the high hopes for it that you all do. I just don't see it breaking the mold. I'm a sucker for outgoing and humorous female leads, so the show has me charmed, but looking at it, it's formulaic and in way that doesn't improve upon the formula. It doesn't strike me as a show I'll remember any longer than it runs. Eh. It's probably gonna be okay, but I predict an average turnout at best.

And the second episode didn't power down the charm either, or the story telling for that matter. I thought the Youko and Madoka talk on the phone in the robot was fun too~

Way to motivate your cousin, Onee-chan~ /thumbsup

Just watched episode 2. Am with you. The more I watch the more I like it. And I'm starting to notice that there are plenty of nice things to say about it. Surprisingly, bluehair has a personality. And it looks like she'll develop. Madoka is of course brilliant because she's Madoka. The OP animation, forget the song, is really cool and I watched it a few times for good measure. This anime, not Symphogear, is stylish. I mean seriously it has crisp animation, charming characters, and a well executed story to boot. Those facial expressions Madoka makes are so brilliant. I like expressive characters. This chick sort of reminds me of Minorin. Maybe even a bit of Noriko. And the episode title this time around was a reference to Hajime no Ippo, which win points from me immediately. I like very much what I am seeing and my hopes have risen a bit with this episode. Still could easily turn out average, but I'm more optimistic now. Consider me a fan.

I think you--- AW *bleep*ING HELL SUNAVABITCH I JUST HIT MY ELBOW ON A WINDOW WHILE I WAS TYPING DAMMIT THAT HURT---'re right. Bluehair always had a personality. I just thought she seemed a bit like the series' Rei at first. Quiet and personality free except occasional bouts of anger. Anyway, expressions should always be important. This show gets that, but so commonly anime and even other media forget it constantly. Expressions are the best way of communicating what's going on without handholding and flat out telling us, which I always appreciate.

Another thing that's very immersive about this show is the sounds. Listen after the explosion of the ship in episode 2. You hear a lot of the noises of shrapnel and fire hitting the sea and other noises that a less caring anime might forget. That's good shit guys, and it's not the only example. Listening through the episode there's a lot of audio that goes unnoticed but not unheard, and it definitely adds to the effect of the show. God is in the details, and small things like this can make a show shine.

Whether this one will, it is too early to say, but it has all the right things to do so. If it fails, I can't blame anyone for being surprised.

I just started Epsiode 2 and man, that OP is just awesome, i love the rainbow colors going on, very unique. And I like her personality even more, and that red forehead was just funny, haha. I noticed that about the sounds, and that makes me happy. It gives the sounds body and depth, instead of just a explosion and whatever.
